purchased in october of '97. saw car in showroom and fell in love with it. problems started out early. In november of that year, the engine burst into flames while parking. I got the fire out with a mountain dew. luckily the 30 day warrenty was still in effect. so i got a new engine. I had the car until '05 and it ran great. It ran from Milwaukee to Chicago at least 100 times in its life span. unfortunatly, it suddenly just died. My mechanic couldnt start it, I couldnt start it. Worst of all, it only had 98,000 miles on it. All in all it was a great car to me. I really miss it.

This was my grandfathers car, now my moms car and I drive it often, so I am very familiar with the car. First of all, it is a good little car. It already has 118K on it. The ride is very smooth for a small car. The safety features are big pluses. The dislikes is the "check engine light", as well as the "ETS off" lights are illuminating at times. Repair shop said oxygen sensor, but cannot figure out what that has to do with the traction control. They are either both on or off, which seems like they are linked. Also, when first started when engine is warm, there is a rattling sound, that does go away after a minute.

Car has been an excellent choice for my son. It has been driven a LOT, and has had no major problems. The car handles extremely well, with great pick-up speed and goes more than fast enough top end. It gets excellent gas milage(approx 26mpg), especially for as fast as it has been driven, but even though it has been driven fairly hard, it continues to perform well.For a mid-sized car,my 6'2" son fits easily into it with more than enough head and leg room.
